pickGorgeous beyond words this book is not long, but so thoughtful & lovely. A few words about nature were removed from the Oxford Junior Dictionary, so the author & illustrator created this epic to honor them. For each word (otter, bramble, & bluebell) there is a jumble of letters, then a page with a beautiful poem based on the word, then a full-spread illustration depicting that word alive in nature. It‘s a pleasure to read & I'm thrilled to own it.
pickSuch a cute book! Love the graphics. There's thing fancy strange woman that a guy wants to impress. He tries everything but fails. However, something simple might be able to catch her eye. Adorable!

pickI've picked 60 of my favorite books to reread in 2026 as part of my birthday celebrations.
Starting with first book I remember. Someone gave it to me, I'm assuming right before I started Kindergarten. Best part was it had a character with my name - Annette. (Didn't become Annie until later.)
I took with me when I left home. Obviously that one didn't survive the house fire but I found a replacement on Ebay for $5. 🤓
Book 1 #6Ofor60
@BookishMarginalia your post reminded to pick up my hold from the library. A beautiful companion book for it is The Lost Words. This book contains some of the 50 nature- related words that were taken out of the Oxford Junior Dictionary in place of technical words. This is the author‘s and illustrator‘s beautiful protest.
